The Story of the Fossils

In addition to the key points concerning dinosaurs coexisting with man found on the Paleontological Evidence page, we highlight here certain fascinating aspects of the fossil record that are relevant to the origins debate. Darwinism is the prevailing paradigm that is used to explain life forms found preserved in the rock layers. But there is compelling evidence from the abrupt appearance of life forms to the missing transitional forms to the overall pattern of living organisms that the evolutionary theorists are mistaken.
